Fraud Revelations: APC, YYA Leaders Ask Saraki To Resign

The National Coordinator of Yoruba Youth Alliance (YYA), Jackson Olalekan-Ojo, has asked the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to resign due to revelations against him and his trial at the CCT.

Olalekan-Ojo said Saraki ought to have resigned instead of fighting desperately to scuttle his trial.

The coordinator of the youth group, stated that he initially thought Saraki was being victimised because of the way he emerged as Senate President but said unfolding revelations had shown that the man indeed has a lot of questions to answer, that's why he was trying to stop his trial.







Speaking with Punch, he said: “It is saddening to hear people saying that Saraki’s ordeal or predicament is a political witch-hunt or victimisation, anyway it may not be too far from all these but the fact remains that Saraki went to equity with dirty hands.

“Honestly, Saraki is no longer qualified to be Nigerian number three citizen again as I joined millions of people across the country to tell him to resign as our Senate President.

“Victimisation or not, the question is; did Saraki commit the offence or not? If not for few members of the Senate, I would have refer to the Eight Senate as a bunch of kleptomaniac leaders.”

He said the integrity of Saraki will be a dent on the anti-corruption war of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying Saraki should emulate courageous leaders in other climes and resign his position.

Also, a chieftain of the APC in Ekiti, Dr. Bayo Orire, has advised Saraki to do the honourable thing.

Addressing journalists in Ado-Ekiti, Dr. Orire said, “Saraki should humbly resign if he is not shameless. Some people mentioned in just the Panama Papers scam have resigned. He should resign.”
